This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MYOBLOC for the treatment of chronic sialorrhea in pediatric subjects.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single treatment study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 dose levels of MYOBLOC vs placebo for the treatment of chronic sialorrhea in pediatric subjects ages 3 to \< 17 years. Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive single treatment of the low dose of MYOBLOC (60 Units/kg), the high dose of MYOBLOC (100 Units/kg), or volume-matched placebo via intraglandular injection.

QUADRUPLE
Subjects assigned to the MYOBLOC Low Dose treatment group will be administered MYOBLOC (60 units/kg; maximum 1800 units) as a single treatment via intraglandular injection (5.0 units/kit per submandibular gland \[maximum 150 units\] and 25.0 units/kg per parotid gland \[maximum 750 units\])
Subjects assigned to the MYOBLOC High Dose treatment group will be administered MYOBLOC (100 units/kg; maximum 3000 units) as a single treatment via intraglandular injection (25.0 units/kit per submandibular gland \[maximum 300 units\] and 40.0 units/kg per parotid gland \[maximum 1200 units\])
Subjects assigned to the Placebo treatment group will be administered volume-matched placebo (1:1)
The change from baseline in the Unstimulated Saliva Flow Rate (USFR) at Week 4 post-injection.
At each study visit, the subject's saliva is collected for at least 3 minutes and weighed (grams). The Unstimulated Saliva Flow Rate (USFR; grams/minute) for each visit is calculated for by dividing the 'total grams of saliva collected during the collection period' by the 'total minutes of the collection period. The USFR at Week 4 post-injection visit subtracted from the USFR at Baseline visit (prior to injection) yields the change from baseline USFR. A change from baseline USFR \<0 grams/minutes represents a better outcome.

The Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) score at Week 4 post-injection.
The Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) scale is a single item clinician assessment of how much the subject's condition (sialorrhea) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to subject's state at baseline prior to treatment (injection). The CGI-C is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, where 1 = "Very much improved", 2 = "Much improved", 3 = "Minimally improved", 4 = "No change", 5 = "Minimally worse", 6 = "Much worse", and 7 = "Very much worse". A CGI-C score \<4 represents a better outcome.
Time frame: Week 4
The Parent/Guardian Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) score at Week 4 post-injection.
The Parent/Guardian Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) scale is a single item parent/guardian assessment of how much the subject's condition (sialorrhea) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to subject's state at baseline prior to treatment (injection). The PGI-C is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, where 1 = "Very much improved", 2 = "Much improved", 3 = "Minimally improved", 4 = "No change", 5 = "Minimally worse", 6 = "Much worse", and 7 = "Very much worse". A PGI-C score \<4 represents a better outcome

The Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) score at Weeks 2, 8, and 13 post-injection.
The Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) scale is a single item clinician assessment of how much the subject's the subject's condition (sialorrhea) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to subject's state at baseline prior to treatment (injection).

The Parent/Guardian Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) score at Week 2, 8, and 13 post-injection.
The Parent/Guardian Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) scale is a single item parent/guardian assessment of how much the subject's condition (sialorrhea) has improved, worsened or has not changed relative to subject's state at baseline prior to treatment (injection). The PGI-C is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, where 1 = "Very much improved", 2 = "Much improved", 3 = "Minimally improved", 4 = "No change", 5 = "Minimally worse", 6 = "Much worse", and 7 = "Very much worse".

The change from baseline in the Modified Teacher's Drooling Scale (mTDS) score at Week4 post injection.
The Modified Teacher's Drooling Scale (mTDS) is a single-item scale used to assess subject's drooling severity and frequency. It is rated by the parent/guardian on a 9-point scale (1-9); where 1 = "Dry: never drools"; 2 = "Mild: only the lips are wet, occasionally"; 3 = "Mild: only the lips are wet, frequently"; 4 = "Moderate: wet on the lips and chin, occasionally"; 5 = "Moderate: wet on the lips and chin, frequently"; 6 = "Severe: drools to the extent that clothing becomes damp, occasionally"; 7 = "Severe: drools to the extent that clothing becomes damp, frequently"; 8 = "Profuse: clothing, hands, tray, and objects become wet, occasionally"; 9 = "Profuse: clothing, hands, tray, and objects become wet, frequently". The mTDS score at Week 4 Post injection subtracted from the mTDS score at Baseline yields the change from baseline mTDS score. A change from baseline mTDS score \<0 represents a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 4
The change from baseline in the Drooling Impact Scale (DIS) score at Week 4 post-injection.
The Drooling Impact Scale (DIS) is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess the frequency, severity, and impact of subject's drooling. Each item is rated by the parent/guardian on a 10-point end-anchor semantic differential scale (1 to 10; where 1 = "best outcome" to 10 = "worst outcome"). The sum of all 10 items yields a total score (ranging from 10-100). The DIS total score at Week 4 Post injection subtracted from the DIS total score at Baseline yields the change from baseline DIS total score. A change from baseline DIS score \<0 represents a better outcome.
